First and foremost, I must apologize for my lack of posts. When I first got this blog, I thought it would be easy to make frequent posts, but now I see there are two problems with my prior thought process: 1) As many ideas for posts as I may get while I'm sitting in class or at the library, when it comes down to actually writing something, it's difficult to tell what's important enough to say. 2) There just are not enough hours in the day.
Which brings me to the topic for this post. I could have written something about politics or the economy, or even scandal. But I thought I would venture beneath the surface of what we see on CNN every day to something a bit deeper. I want to say just a few words about getting older.
I will be 20 years old in October, which I know is not old by any standards, but today I considered how fast my years have gone by. I thought, I'll be 30 in ten years, which may seem like a long time, but when I think about how it feels like I was 10 years old just yesterday, I can only assume that the next decade will go by just as quickly, which is a scary thought indeed.
Anyone I've talked to about this subject says that to them, their parents will never age. And I have to agree. When I look at my mom or dad, they still seem the way they did when I was little, simply because I can't envision such a constant fixture in my life aging.
When I just consider where I was a year ago, it seems like the time went by all too fast. My senior year of high school went by in a matter of minutes, and this last year of college, even speedier.
The sad truth is that we all get older, but with that, we learn more about the world around us and ourselves than we ever thought possible. I have to wonder, what will I know next week, next month, next year? I'll let you know ;)
